Teammates have described Newton has being more open and accessible, working harder at his craft both as a player and a leader and better coming to grips with his highly-visible role. It appears the guy who has been able to be remarkably successful mostly based on sheer natural ability alone is realizing the intense work ethic it takes to reach NFL superstar status.

“I think as time progresses anybody will start to sink their teeth in something and get confidence,” Newton said. “For me, it’s about that to a degree, but most importantly understanding what this offense is about and knowing each and every person’s assignment and being the ultimate field general.”
